ollia macarons & tea

the interior design is really cute! and very "instagramble"! many flavours to chose from. although, some flavours were quite typical, they had 1 flavour that stood out to me, and that was the cotton candy flavour. very unique!!! i just wished that the the pina colada and the apricot flavour tasted a little more fresh... maybe i was just unlucky with those batches. prices were quite reasonable as it's 7 for $14 with a cute box. there's also stamp cards as well!!
overall, recommend!!

wow. ollia hands down makes the best macarons i have ever tried in my life. every flavour is amazing- i would know as, within 5 minutes of walking in and buying 10 macarons to share with my cousins, we were back for more. compared to the neighbouring corbeaux, their prices are more reasonable as well. i simply cannot express how amazing their macarons are. i honestly was never a big fan of macarons before, but ollia's are perfect in texture and taste, my cousins and i were all equally impressed. if you're looking for the best macarons in calgary, this is the place to go.

i have tried each and every macarons place in town and ollia has the best ones! not only their location look great but their flavours are awesome and the service is friendly. they also have a macarons baking class!!!!!!!!!!!!

the macarons are a bit more expensive, but the quality of the macaron is good. the macarons are delicious and the service is very friendly. the place is small inside, but the interior looks nice inside. the place is not too loud inside and there is a variety of flavours in macarons to choose from. the packaging looks nice as well.

this place is amazing! their macarons are delicious and the staff is very friendly and helpful. they also get very creative with their macarons for certain holidays and occassions. and their packaging is always super cute! i always love coming here.

this place is amazing and truly a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of 17th ave. i had the fortunate experience to take their macaron 101 baking class. the staff and owners are amazing and wonderful people. it was my first time to go there and definitely won't be my last. i love that they support other local businesses. highly recommend this place wether you going for an afternoon tea and sweet treat, or want a fun night of learning. love to see them introduce a macaron 201 baking class to continue on the knowledge!

ollia is so popular so i wanted to see what the hype was all about and i was a little disappointed. maybe i had too high of an expectation. 
i went here at around 4-5pm - there were no other customers and the people working were in the back and took quite some time to help us. i overlooked it because it gave me a chance to look at the flavours. and wow do they have a lot of selections. i'd say it's a hit or miss for their flavours.. some flavours were really strong but some were too subtle and made me think "what flavour is this...?" because i couldn't taste anything at all. the macarons itself were a hit or miss too. i found that some had the perfect texture and consistency but there were some that were a little stale - hard and not chewy at all.

this is a gem of a place. definitely a lovely spot to get delicious macarons and tea. the owners are very kind and welcoming. if you're looking for some yummy macarons, i highly recommend this to be your go to place! they also offer classes that teach you how to make the macarons, which is super fun and a great experience. absolutely love ollia!

five stars!

lovey display of macaroons and adorable decor! the rose macaron was surprisingly delicious. very fragrant and the right amount of sweetness. i usually play it safe with macaron flavours but everything here was yummy. macarons are a grab and go snack but the decor is so lovely here. i wish there was seating inside to enjoy some tea and snack on my macarons!

great macarons. my all time favorite was the blue cheese macarons. if you are into baking totally buy their nonstick mats they are great and have helped me a lot get better at portioning my own baking. they also sell almond flour. fair prices, yummy dessert a must stop place while strolling down 17th. get some tea too!

i took a macaron baking class at ollia and had the best time! our instructor was very knowledgeable, fun, and very responsive to all of the questions the students had. i would recommend anyone interested in learning how to make macarons (or just wanting to buy some - their cotton candy macaron is so good!) to visit ollia!

i think i've fallen inlove with calgary as a whole. this shop did it. we arrived 30 minutes after the shop opened on a gloomy tuesday. walking through the construction of a new sidewalk/roadway you can see the bones of 16th street.
the store was quiet, with one person before us. gave us time to take in the different flavors and treats at the front.
we didn't catch the front girls name, but she was so friendly, and knowledgeable. she gave us some great recommendations.
to the macarons, we got a box of 12 for $26 and also 2 different teas that were displayed in the front! $4
my favorite from the bunch was the fig and balsamic!
the lavender lemonade was a great pairing with the delicious treats.
coming from edmonton i've been spoiled by duchess, i'm not ranking one over the other. since both establishments have delicious treats, both also having flavors that hit and miss.
but a plus here, i didn't have to wait in a line. 😄😊

really cute decor and great staff.. this place is really ideal for healthy-tea lovers.. the variety of flavors of tea available are amazing and so are the macaroons..they even have fancy straws and vials of tea leaves.. nothing about this place i didn't like..

excellent macarons with a lovely cheery staff and lovely selection of teas. was made to feel so welcome and very interested in doing the classes. very yummy selection especially the savoury selections!

i had tried ollia macaroons at a trade show and absolutely loved them, so much that i thought about them constantly ! i was finally in the area and happy to be able to go in and purchase a box- a variety of flavours. i was excited to try the savoury flavours but ended up finding them too strong and just not for me, they left a real bitter taste in my mouth. i ended up just taking a single bite and throwing the rest out. the sweet ones were good, but did not taste as fresh as when i had tried them before. i would go again but perhaps just purchase 1 or 2 at a time.
